Summary
In this episode, I talk about the biggest opportunity you have in 2026: Intentionality. I encourage you to stop measuring your life by "vibes" and start looking at the actual impact you’re making in your business and relationships. I also discuss the inevitability of AI, why I’m betting big on Substack and Live Shopping, and why your biggest problem is the person looking back at you in the mirror.
You’ll learn about:
- The Power of Radical Accountability
- Why Kindness is a Warrior Trait
- How to Navigate the 2026 Digital Economy
- The Importance of Candor with Loved Ones
- Why Fear of Failure is Small Compared to Real Life
